Santorum Nails the True Nature of Islamic Fascism - One day after we publicly burned the lies contained in the Koran, the homosexual flag, and seven abominable Supreme Court decisions in Jackson, Mississippi, Senator Rick Santorum gave this speech. It is remarkable, and perhaps the most powerful speech given by anyone in the United States Senate in the past fifty years.
Below, some excerpts from Senator Santorum's speech, at the “Conservative Union League” in Center City Philadelphia, July 27, 2006. Click here for the full text of the speech

“The Great Test of This Generation – Naming and defeating the enemy, Islamic fascism.”
“We are in the same kind of conflict today. Some say we are fighting a War on Terror. That is like saying World War II was a war on blitzkrieg. Terror like blitzkrieg is a tactic used by our enemy, not the enemy itself.
In World War II we fought Nazism and Japanese imperialism. Today, we are fighting against Islamic fascists. They attacked us on September 11th because we are the greatest obstacle to their openly declared mission of subjecting the entire world to their fanatical rule.
I believe that the threat of Islamic fascism is just as menacing as the threat from Nazism and Soviet Communism. Now, as then, we face fanatics who will stop at nothing to dominate us. Now, as then, there is no way out; we will either win or lose.
Too many people talk about this war as if it were simply an attempt to create fledgling democracies in Iraq and Afghanistan . But Iraq and Afghanistan are battlefields in a much broader war, which now includes every continent except Antarctica .
Ask the Indians, the Thais, the Egyptians or the Argentines. Ask the Australians, the Indonesians, the British or the Spaniards. All have seen Islamic fascists at work, and have mourned their innocent victims.
Islamic fascists have been waging this war against us for a very long time. It did not suddenly erupt on a sunny September day in 2001….”
“There is a bigger problem: our fear of speaking clearly, publicly, and consistently about the enemy. It is unfashionable in some quarters to speak about the Islamo fascists, because of the misguided cultural reflex that condemns anyone who speaks critically about others' practices or beliefs. Therefore, we can't say or do anything that might offend Muslims….”
“Those who refuse to criticize Islamic fascism undermine the cause of freedom of religion because if the Islamic fascists win this war, no other religion will be permitted to flourish.
Paradoxically, when we refuse to criticize anybody, we end up patronizing everyone, which is offensive to everyone and self-defeating…”
“This war is not between two morally equivalent sides; it's a war between brutal totalitarian fascism and freedom…”
“Islamic fascism is the great test of this generation.
When we fail to fully grasp the nature of our enemy and the urgency of our victory, our own people become confused and divided, and the fascists are encouraged to believe that we're afraid of them.
This has to stop. We have an obligation as leaders to articulate exactly what this threat is, and to defeat it. The American people have always rallied to the cause of freedom, once they understood what was at stake.”
It has been brought up. Watch your "pings"~! :-)

All it takes is grass roots to spread the word about Rick...."whoever controls the language, controls the people" Glenn Beck [as we saw the D's and MSM do on their behalf this past election].
We need to take control of the language once again. Educate the uneducated.... one at a time.
BUMP!!!
Nancee
BUMP!!!
AMEN!!!
Nancee
I haven't seen it put better!! This is my goal for the next two (2) years at least!
Nancee
AMEN and AMEN!!!
Nancee
:-(
Tears are flowing here in Pennsylvania!!!!!!!!
BUMP!!!
Lets ask Rick personally to release the Barrett Report!
It is time for We the People to see what is hiiden within it that so many from the Previous Admin want hidden forever.
We are going to get hit again and maybe this time it will be real enough for people to take it seriously for longer than a weekend or two. Maybe the networks will actually show the attack(s) on tv, as if they might be important.
Who am I kidding? Like so many other areas of life, there are people who refuse to accept certain realities and do things that ruin it for the rest of us. Liberal Europeans, Canadians and our demonrats refuse to see the dangers of Islam, of China, of Iran, of etc. Sooner or later, it will all come to a head and even they won't be able to ignore it any longer...instead, they will blame us.
I'm all for it. Do we want a letter or a Citizens' Petition?
Nancee
It is my understanding that a great deal of warning went on leading up to and even during WWII; even when people K-N-O-W the facts, some simply do NOT want to believe them; would rather vilify those who do get it....a large part of the reason I believe the left went after Rick Santorum with a vengence. Glenn Beck goes wild over this subject...keeps repeating that history is now repeating itself.
It's the same with just about everything! People WANT to keep their heads in the sand and "make nice"!! I suppose "denial" is common to all human nature to one extent or another.
Sadly, I think you're right; we're going to get hit again.
Nancee
AMEN!! I believe we're going to see your prayer answered in the affirmative...and soon.
Nancee
BUMP!!!
I believe a personal letter from one of his most ardent believers and best Supporters would go far. We can also do a Citizen's Petition can be done as well. That person pointed out above for the personal letter with all of Our support is you, Nancee. I know he considers You as a wonderful Citizen and he will consider the task with great importance.
I wonder how you know this. I think of myself as an ardent supporter, no doubt. But I am quite sure that Rick Santorum probably does not remember having met me at all. Not that he easily casts people off. He doesn't. But I am just one among millions who respect, admire, and trust him.
Nevertheless, I will draft the letter ASAP (today is a busy one for me)and get that draft to you, ok? If you approve of the letter; you and "melancholy", we'll go ahead and post it here for signatures. Then we'll send to him. It does not require more than a simple, cut-to-the-chase request. What do you think?
Nancee
I hope I can write here exactly what I'm thinking - I believe we are going to get hit again. Although I despise the thought of more American deaths - liberals MIGHT wake up if a bomb goes off in Hollyweird, Vegas, SF or on the beach in Streisand's back yard. Unfortunately, they need a PERSONAL LOSS to realize what all Americans are facing.
Nancee,
I agree completely, an Excellent Plan.
